• Improper usage of the product can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the product only as described in this
manual.
• Do not modify the product or any components of the product. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable operation
resulting in injury to patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty.
• Always make sure that you wipe the product with clean water and thoroughly dry each product after cleaning. Some
cleaning agents are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to the product if you use them improperly. If you do not
properly rinse and dry the product, a corrosive residue may be left on the surface of the product that could cause
premature degradation of critical components. Failure to follow these cleaning instructions may void your warranty.
• Cleaning agents and disinfectants with aggressive chemicals will reduce the expected life of the mattress cover.
• Do not allow liquid to seep into the zipper area or watershed cover barrier when you clean the mattress bottom. Fluids
allowed to come in contact with the zipper may leak into the mattress.
• Always allow the mattress cover to dry before storing, adding linens, or placing a patient on the surface. Drying the
product helps to prevent impaired product performance.
